I found a way to make a Barbie couch out of a recycled kleenex box but now that we finished that we want to make more furniture. Does anyone have some ideas? We have lots of funky material to cover them with...thanks to Grandma. Any and all ideas will be appreciated!

was that the one from creative juice? made from tissue box and paper towel roll stuffed with newspaper and covered in faux fur? I am sure could make anything you want from cereal or detergent boxes, like a doll bed (double the cardboard for strength as needed), or other boxes (mini cereal boxes for cupboards) . maybe a table from a small juice can or plastic bottle topped with a larger plastic lid ( strengthen lid with with a couple of circles of cardboard from food boxes gued to the underside). make a whole room or house from a large packing box from a delivery. use wallpaper samples, comtact paper, paper, cloth or paint etc . to cover as needed. I can also see some of those small plastic juice bottles as stools. you make have to weight with stones, rice or pennies or marbles. make a cushion from a glued on fabric "yoyo" stuffed with scraps from panty hose, knee highs tights etc and glued on. or use duct tape to strengthen / cover cardboard or use the faux leather look - cover with masking tape and rub with brown shoe polish. a small gift box with a picture of a computer pasted on one side. have fuin!
